I haven't played a pure Monk or even a centred-based character for sometime, so I decided to put together something for Stealth, Weaponised Melee & Ranged ability.

can you fit in rapid shot? Maybe swap dodge & PBS and take rapid shot over dodge in its new place? I am not sure if the BAB would allow this. Originally Posted by Arlathen

I did manage to fit in Rapid shot at level 12, thankfully Originally Posted by Saekee
I'll have a good look at Harper level 5's, as it would mean I could bin off the whole Ninjutsu line (not very flavourful of me, but I took it all for Touch of Death mainly). Thanks for the feedback

Does the +1 Enhancement bonus or Improved Deception 'break' Celestia at all? I have a pair I'm planning to use, particularly as an offhand for my Shuriken Throwing. Originally Posted by Saekee

probably. For the offhand on a thrower, it would not matter. You can always reset the enhancements! Originally Posted by Arlathen

maybe drop dodge for precision and then take precise shot later for Archer's focus
also take fists of light so you can do some nice buffs for party, like align the heavens or grasp the earth
Lacking PRR you will feel squishy in the toughest content as a monk in which case you will find yourself using the shurikens a lot. Then you will want to be a full time ranged thrower which would be strongest at 14 monk/6 ranger...Last edited by Saekee; 05-14-2016 at 04:41 PM.

Really sad that a fairly optimized weaponized monk is best using the Harper T5s. Originally Posted by Arlathen

It's designed to be orientated towards Melee with Shortswords, with Shurikens as a viable and decent Ranged option. A versatile build. Originally Posted by tasslejof

"Blows dust off thread".
U33 Monk changes. Might make me come back to the game....
So, discuss proposed changes for Weaponised Monks, please. Sell them to me

I took a quick stab at a shuriken+TWF shortsword drow monk build here. I presume what we've seen so far is just the first stage of the monk overhaul, though; so it's premature to second-guess final builds, IMO.
